Xai Sentry node holders monitor the network and verify transactions to ensure the integrity and security of the ecosystem. They are an essential component of the Xai blockchain. Sentry node holders can also collaborate by staking their keys together in pools, which are tiered from Bronze to Diamond based on the amount of esXAI staked, the higher the tier, the more rewards.\
\
Even if you don’t own a Sentry Key, users in eligible regions can still participate in XAI Staking by converting XAI to esXAI and staking it in a pool with available capacity to earn staking rewards.&#x20;
